    I use my BB as a modem everyday for work. It works fantastic, but after I disconnect the device from my laptop, the phones browser, or any app that needs to access the internet just loads FOREVER...I usually just give up. The only fix is a battery pull. Should I be doing something different when I'm done using the phone as a modem? Are there steps I'm skipping that is causing this problem. When I'm done, I usually just open my VZAccess Manager and hit disconnect (however it still shows that phone is in "modem mode" on my BB). So I usually just disconnect the phone.

    I use my phone as a modem for nearly 8 hours a day. Every time I disconnect I have to do a battery pull. I've just accepted itl

    Yes, you do pay a monthly fee to Verizon. However, I've canceled internet at home. I find using my phone as a modem is pretty quick.
